Disable repeating / stuck keys on a faulty laptop keyboard (solved)

In general, laptop keyboards are more susceptible to wear and tear than their external counterparts. The tiny gaps between keys collect dust particles and due to its compact structure, makes it harder to clean.

Dust particles that build up around and beneath those keys can cause a lot of keyboard problems such as unresponsive and stuck keys. The frustrating part is if those problems occur while you are doing something very important. Aside from dust, when a liquid spell renders a part of your keyboard unusable, that’s another reason for you to freak out.

Sometimes cleaning could no longer solve those problems. So they suggest that you just replace it. Later, you’ll also find out that the replacement is costly and impractical for you.

So you’ve to look another viable option – connect an external keyboard, but then, you’ve discovered that the problem still remains because your laptop’s keyboard is still active and malfunctioning.

Unfortunately, unlike touchpads that have enable-disable function key, laptop keyboards aren’t designed to have that feature. Now to solve this limitation, you will have to disable the defective keyboard deliberately by disabling its driver software via Device Manager.
